Being a celebrant with Celebrate People is an incredible privilege- one I hold with deep respect and joy. Whether it’s a funeral, a wedding or another important life moment, I’m passionate about creating ceremonies that are personal, heartfelt and filled with warmth.
I offer ceremonies in both English and French. J’aime tout particulièrement voir se rencontrer deux cultures, marier les traditions françaises et écossaises et créer des cérémonies uniques qui reflètent cette richesse ainsi que l’image et l’histoire d’un couple.
Every ceremony I deliver is shaped by the values at the heart of Celebrate People: compassion, kindness, equality and respect.

- Passionate about: crafting ceremonies that truly reflect the people at their heart- full of joy, sincerity and meaning.
- 3 words that describe me: empathic, nature lover, francophile
Having lived in Paris for a decade and a few years in Australia, I’ve now made my home in the heart of the Highlands. I love learning about people’s stories and the unique paths that have shaped them.
Alongside being a celebrant, I run an education programme supporting young people as they navigate life after school- work that continues to inspire my belief in the importance of marking life’s transitions with intention and meaning.
I have always been drawn to working with people, supporting them in shaping lives that reflect their values and aspirations.
One of my favourite memories as a celebrant is of a tiny, intimate ceremony near where I live in the Highlands, on the edge of Loch an Eilein, opposite a 13th-century island castle. The couple made their grand entrance in a fire engine! Framed by the snowy peaks of the Cairngorm mountains and surrounded by Scots pine trees, the sun came out just as we lit a candle in memory of a loved one. At the end of the ceremony, the couple waded into the loch under an arch made from their handfasting ties, while I read a Celtic blessing. It was beautiful!
If we work together, you can expect a calm presence, an open heart and a collaborative approach. Whether you’re looking for a bilingual ceremony, or one in English or French, I’ll help you create a meaningful, personal and memorable celebration.
